August 2005 Archives

Rain on the awning

Here's some more rain, this time on the porch awning, and the sound of my dog complaining about something. 2005-08-01

August 2, 2005

Temporary stream

There's been so much rain that the temporary water channels have come to life. 2005-08-02

August 3, 2005

Moving upstream

Same little stream, just a bit further up. You can still hear the little waterfall in the right channel. 2005-08-03

August 4, 2005

Afterward

Sounds at night after the rain. 2005-08-04

August 5, 2005

Crickets and other sounds at the edge of the Baltic. 2005-08-05

Water lapping at the dock. 2005-08-06

Sounds from the cockpit of a 73 year old wooden sailboat. 2005-08-07

August 8, 2005

Cabin

In the cabin of the boat. 2005-08-08

The sounds of charcoal burning and plates being washed. 2005-08-09

Intro

I've done a musical score for a short film by Pedro Harres, a filmaker from Brazil. The next few days will feature the raw material from that score. This is the intro music, under the titles. 2005-08-11

August 12, 2005

Last scene

Another track from the film, this is the last scene. 2005-08-12

August 13, 2005

Transition

This is transition music from the film. 2005-08-13

August 14, 2005

Reading

This is from a key moment in the film. All the music was created by using the sounds from the film itself, dialogue, background noises, etc. and mutating and modifying them. 2005-08-14

By the way, this marks the halfway point of the Daily Ambience project. I have reached 182 tracks.

Environment 1

The first in a series of short tracks exploring the effects of acoustic space on the same, very slow piece of music. 2005-08-15

August 16, 2005

Environment 2

Same track as yesterday, but in a very different acoustic space. 2005-08-16

August 17, 2005

Environment 3

A much larger and more dissonant space this time. 2005-08-17

August 18, 2005

Environment 4

Not such a huge space, but some really interesting resonances. 2005-08-18

By the way, I've been looking at Digital Musician, a service that allows musicians to collaborate online. I used the Rocket Network a few years ago to collaborate with David Azarch in NYC to create the Bossa 'n' Bass track from the early days of this site.

If you're interested in an online collaboration, let me know.

Environment 5

Last in the series. This is in an impossible room: huge, made of tin with almost 0% humidity. 2005-08-19

August 20, 2005

Smear

This is just a big mess. Just a live mic picking up lots of noises in the room and outside the window, feeding back, and then run through lots and lots of processing. It may be messy, but it's kind of fun and pointing toward a whole setup that I'll be working with for a while. 2005-08-20

August 21, 2005

Sequence 1

I got a handle on the processing from yesterday and this is the first result. This is the start of a series that are all generated from a single note. That note is run through a stack of processors, some at war with each other. Through the series, the note and the processing will stay the same, just the sound source will change. 2005-08-21

Sequence 2.1

Here's a modification of the initial conditions of the sequence, based on the sounds of yesterday's version. 2005-08-30

August 31, 2005

Sequence 2.2

Shifted things around a bit, changed the patches and routed the MIDI delays to different sounds. It's a bit dreamy. 2005-08-31
